Luke 23:29

Twentieth Century New Testament 1904

A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said--'Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!'

See the chapter Copy

And alas for the women that are with child, and for those that are nursing infants in those days!

As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed: "Happy was the mother who bore you and nursed you!"

So Jesus turned and said to them: "Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
